Monday Mingle: Non-Vlogging Style

.




My dear friend Jennifer (aka Speedy) over at Eighty MPH Mom has been hosting this meme since August 2009 now and I love seeing everyone's post, but I haven't been able to participate because I don't have a webcam or a video camera so don't post vlogs. Well a couple of weeks ago Jennifer announced on her blog that she was opening up Monday Mingle to us non-vloggers... WooHoo!!! So today I am participating in my very first Monday Mingle... I hope you enjoy and think about joining and certainly visiting Jennifer and all the other minglers, they are a fantastic bunch of bloggers!!

Here is what you have to do: 

"Each week three questions are asked, and you can answer via a written post, or a vlog post. If you have always wanted to try vlogging, Monday Mingle vlog meme is a fun way to try vlogging. If you’d like to join in the fun, answer the 3 weekly questions in short vlog on your blog, or a written blog post, then link up {on Jennifer's blog} in the linky. Please post the above button within your post and link to Eighty MPH Mom, so readers can easily find other participants. Visit the other participants, learn about them and have fun! It’s not too late you can link up anytime during the week."



Easy peasy, right? So, here are the questions for this week:

1. What is one food or drink you cannot live without?  I originally thought I was going to say chocolate, but when I really put my mind to it, I have to say it's bread.  I ADORE bread, I could make a meal out of a fresh loaf of French bread and butter... or if I have some Brie cheese....OOOOO, I'm in heaven!

2. Are you a foodie? Do you like to cook or are you a food blogger?  I do like to cook, I don't have a food blog. But because of my disability, I can't do as much cooking as I'd like to. I wasn't much of a cook when I first started dating Bill, but he married me anyway... I got better over the years, then got hurt. If I find that I'm having a better day, I will do a lot of cooking that day, of course then I usually pay for it the next couple of days. HaHa.

3. What is your one easy family friendly recipe, or amazing supersecret recipe that you are known for?  I make a chicken/pasta dish that we call "Chicken Alexander" that is a Mediterranean type dish with tomatoes and olives. I have entered it into a contest and I can't publish it here right now, when the contest is over - I'll share it then. Wish me luck.  I also make an AWESOME French-vanilla buttercream frosting that was my grandmother's recipe... it is a family secret, but you can probably find something like it called a 7-Minute Frosting in a Betty Crocker cookbook - it's similar.


And that completes my very first Monday Mingle... I hope you enjoyed it. I hope someday to get a Flip cam to do real vlogs and participate fully. Please remember to join in link up with Eighty MPH Mom and visit the other participants!
